THE
P.A.P.P.A.S.*
FIVE-POINTS PLEDGE
|
1.
|
I will
no longer foot the bill to encourage my
child or children's shoe fetish for expensive
name-brand athletic shoes. |
|
2.
|
I will stand firm in my decision to stick
within my budget
for children's athletic shoes. |
|
3.
|
I will prepare my child to go toe-to-toe
with any bully who criticizes his or her
or my selection in affordable, comfortable
athletic shoes. |
|
4.
|
By boycotting trendy, over-priced athletic
shoes that are not within my budget, I will
give Nike the boot and tell Fila to take
a hike. |
|
5.
|
I declare that I am a new foot soldier in
the cause of stamping out the control rubber
robber baron shoe manufacturers hold over
my kid(s) for their sneakers. |
